For The Dixon in London, Made Specific delivered bespoke lighting solutions to a hotel rooted in history and shaped by the cultural energy of its surroundings. Housed in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building from 1906, formerly the Tower Bridge Magistrates Court, the hotel balances its architectural heritage with a bold, contemporary identity.

The lighting concept was developed to complement the building’s original features while supporting the hotel’s eclectic and boutique-driven design aesthetic. Custom-made lamps introduce warmth and depth, accentuating tactile materials, crafted details, and carefully curated contrasts throughout the interiors. Light is used not only to illuminate but to reveal character highlighting textures, architectural lines, and moments of surprise within the space.

In guest rooms and shared areas alike, the bespoke lighting helps establish an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expressive. Soft, controlled illumination brings balance to the vibrant palette and edgy design choices, ensuring comfort without diluting the hotel’s strong visual identity. The result is a layered lighting experience that supports both relaxation and social interaction.

Through tailor-made solutions, Made Specific has contributed to an interior where past and present meet seamlessly. The lighting reinforces The Dixon’s sense of place, celebrating its historic foundations while reflecting the creativity, diversity, and cultural richness of London SE1.
